QA/TestCases/InstallSourceFtpAnonymous

Description

This test is intended to confirm that anaconda can locate and use an installation source accessible via anonymous FTP.

How to test

1. Boot the installation program using any available means (boot.iso, CD, DVD or PXE)
   • NOTE: If using a CD, DVD or boot.iso, you must also direct the installer to use a FTP installation source by using any method below:
   1. Specify on the boot command:

      repo=ftp://<host>/<path>

   2. Add the boot command: askmethod
      • When prompted, choose to perform a URL install
      • Enter the URL to your FTP installation source. For example, you might enter ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os
2. Proceed with the installation

Expected Results

1. Anaconda uses the images/install.img from the FTP server provided if the second method above is used. This can be confirmed if you have access to the FTP server logs. Alternatively, you can examine the file /var/log/anaconda.log looking for a line similar to the following

   INFO    : URL_STAGE_MAIN: url is ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/images/install.img

2. Anaconda uses the package repository from the FTP server provided.
3. Anaconda completes successfully
4. System boots successfully
